Hello “friends”, I have had jazz musicians emailing me their suggestion on how I should go about with other musicians “Share File” songs instead of using the agreement that was written out on Boodeaux’s blog. You’ll now see there is no longer any binding agreement, just the love of your trust with Boodeaux is all that is needed. If you agree, Boodeaux will even buy one of your song tracks from your MySpace. com profile page with your permission only after you have sent an IM (Instant Message saying so). Otherwise it’s all up to you however you wish to share your song track file. And you may cancel out anytime as you wish. Here you’ll see a shortcut to Boodeaux’s blog:
I apologize for not having my profile page ready before public viewing. It's starting to come together now. If you know of anyone who might be interested in sharing their Sax sound on my music player for exposure, entertainment, and most of all for those who are still unknown at this time that would like to be known to the world wide web of jazz music.
Boodeaux
PS. Don't forget to check out Boodeaux's images from his photo album.
